“Of course the CIA helped establish Al Queda to help fight the Russians in Afghanistan”

Actually, this has gained the status of urban legend but isn’t true. Sorry, the CIA didn’t establish or deal with Al Queda, they were an invention of bin laden, not the CIA, and they purchased, fought with, and supplied others with, Eastern European blackmarket arms and Soviet arms, as well as quite a few Chinese arms.

I realize this is like the fairy tail about the US arming Sadaam and so many will disagree, but that doesn’t make it true. Were the CIA any where near as effective as the conspiracy and bullshit artists say, we wouldn’t have had 9/11 and no one would care about bin laden because the CIA would have taken out all the Islamic radicals and half the Pak intelligence service in Afghanistan as soon as the Russians began to pull out.

Enjoy the myths and BS, but they are not true.

have a nice day
